The hot stove season is around the corner. For those who can’t wait – and don’t have a rooting interest in this World Series – here’s a countdown of the top 20 free agents this offseason (one a day to get you into November):

19. SS Stephen Drew

Lowdown: He hit .196 against left-handers and he isn’t helping himself much this month (.086/.111/.143), but the crop of above-average shortstops is thin and two teams on the East Coast could have a need – especially if the Yankees can’t keep Derek Jeter on the field. Drew himself has been rather injury prone in his career, but he is at least coming off his best year since 2010 despite being in and out of the lineup at different points this year with hamstring, back and concussion issues.
